The Rum Nation 2011 Reunion 7yo is a remarkable rum that encapsulates the rich heritage of the Réunion region. Distilled by the esteemed Rum Nation in 2011 and bottled in 2018, this 7-year-old single cask rum showcases the mastery and dedication of its producers. With an impressive ABV of 60.5% and presented in a 700ml bottle, this rum is designed to captivate connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. On the nose, it greets you with an intense and highly evolved aroma profile, featuring woody notes, vanilla, pepper, and licorice. As you delve deeper, you'll notice a herbaceous shift reminiscent of the Pyrenees, eventually revealing esters of acetone and chewing gum. Upon tasting, the initial attack is bold and assertive, dominated by a pronounced herbaceousness with hints of chamomile and aniseed, even bordering on medicinal. The palate softens with flavors of vanilla, apple, and grapes, striking a balanced harmony. The finish is dry, spicy, and slightly tannic, with lingering bitterness. This rum needs some time to breathe, ideally around 15 minutes, to fully unleash its plethora of flavors and esters. While a few drops of water can mellow its high proof, it’s not a necessity. Though young, this rum astoundingly hits all the right notes, offering a remarkable quality-to-price ratio. From figs and dates to warm winter spices like vanilla and cinnamon, chocolate, coffee, butterscotch, and caramel, this rum draws parallels to the woodiness found in cognac or brandy. Its high proof is balanced by a robust flavor profile, making it a memorable pour. Drink it slowly to savor every nuance. FAQs
